Winemaker's Notes:

This fully-ripened Riesling has highly extracted fruit flavors of apricots and peaches coupled with enough acidity to give it a firm and juicy mouth feel. Excellent by itself or to complement soft or blue vein cheeses, richer style food with sauces and oriental dishes.

This fine Riesling wine originates from the Mosel valley with its steep vineyards and offers an extraordinary premium wine quality.Forward fruit and floral aromas of apples and peaches with just a hint of citrus. The natural acidity gives the wine a perfect balance that is refreshingly crisp and leaves your mouth watering. This wine pairs well with a wide range of food like light salads, poultry, seafood and blue cheese or just on its own. Serve chilled. - Winery

This ever-popular Mosel Riesling is brimming with white peach and apricot fruit on the nose with a limey, mid-palate acidity. Calling it a perfect summer thirst quencher would be an understatement - deck party anyone?
